Took my 1500 in today to the dealer for service... had a constant squeal coming from the engine bay. Dealer says it was the compressor clutch and will replace it for no extra charge under my lifetime warranty (of course I still have the $150 deductible :( )

Anyone know what a compressor clutch does?

on a positive note, I also had a short in my fog lights at the TIPM and a mirror that wouldn't defrost, so also getting those fixed at no additional charge...

Oh, and the rear axel pinion nut recall.... done!

The clutch lets the compressor pulley turn without turning the compressor. The clutch engages when the A/C calls for the compressor to run.
